The first reason why one dies in space is, well, asphyxia. (And we already cleared that part.) Then the decompression and radiation part. I think. Oh, and meeting with space debris at the speed of 200 something km/h. Ironically, it is hard to get frozen in space because vacuum is the perfect isolator. In fact, it is more easy to boil in space than to freeze. Yeah, it is a painful and not-so-instant death. /stop bragging about my oh-so-awesome knowledge of physics here.
